Hi guys, new story, I hope you enjoy it. (I don't own Fairytail)

Winter Chronicles:

Story time

Ultear is eleven

Lyon is ten

Gray is five

"Lyon?" A sleepy five-year-old Gray asked. He gave a big yawn and rubbed is eyes tiredly. He looked up at his big brother Lyon who was sitting on the couch by the fire, reading Sorcerer weekly. Lyon looked up from his magazine and looked down at his little brother.

"Yeah Gray? What's up?" He asked. Gray yarned again and hugged his teddy bear, Blue, tighter in his arms.

"When are mommy and Ultear coming back? I miss them." Lyon sighed. This was the tenth time that Gray had asked that question in the last hour.

"I told you Gray, soon."

"But you said that last time and it's been twenty minutes." Lyon sighed again and pinched his nose. He put down the magazine next to him on the couch hand sat on the floor on his knees facing Gray.

"Look Gray. I told you they should be back in another hour or so. So, don't worry about them, they should be fine. Now go back to bed, alright." He was about to stand up when Gray grabbed onto his sleeves.

"Can you come with me. Can you read me a story? Please?" He asked in a sweet, innocent kid voice with tears started to drip down from them. Oh no, not those big, googly eyes, please not the big googly eyes. Lyon hated those eyes. No. He despised them. He could never say no to them especially when he starts to cry.

"Ugh fine." As if he had seen a giant rainbow, a giant smile appeared on Gray's face and his tears miraculously disappeared into thin air.

"Yay! Thank you, big brother." He giggled and ran straight to his room, holding Blue tightly in his arms while his legs dangled underneath. For the third time, Lyon sighed. Why? Why did he always have to give in? He should just say 'No' to him, but he just can't do that. Ugh, it's so annoying.

A little while later, Gray had tucked into his bed all snug and warm, Blue was next to him and Gray had his arms around him. Lyon had grabbed a few books. He grabbed a few because it usually takes Gray a while to get to sleep, so this time he came prepared.

"Story time! Story time!" Gray cheered with a huge smile. Lyon couldn't help but chuckle at his little brother, it was pretty cute. Wait-did he just thought that? Ugh, only Ultear got to think those things of Gray, not him. What has Gray done too him? Next time Ultear is staying behind and looking after Gray.

Lyon sat down on the bed next to Gray. He put down the pile of books from his hands onto the floor and grabbed the top one. The title was Stella: The Great beetle of the forest. Umm, maybe not this one. Jeeze what a weird title. Lyon thought embarrassingly. He put that book down and picked up the next one. A fairy's delight. He is definitely not reading that one. Jeeze, who came up with these names anyway? Aha! This one sounded perfect. 'The Quest of the Ice mage.' Mmm, I think Gray's mentioned that book once or twice or a million of times. He absolutely loves this book. He says that it's about an Ice mage who hopes of becoming the best ice mage of all times, but the twist is that she is a princess and she also has to protect her village from an evil force and she goes on a quest to become strong.

"Ok, how about this one Gray, The quest of the Ice mage?" And Lyon thought that his smile couldn't get any bigger.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Please. Please. Please. I love that story. Yes. Yes. Yes." He kept repeating over and over again, jumping up on the bed. Lyon chuckled a bit.

"Ok, Ok. Calm down Gray, you're making the bed messy. Now get back into bed or you'll miss out alright?" He said, Gray stopped nodded and stopped jumping around. He laid back down under the cover and pulled it up to his chin.

"Ok, Gray, you ready?" He asked, and Gray nodded excitedly. "Once upon a time there was an ice wizard by the name of Crystal and she was a Princess. And she had the most beautiful magic in all the Kingdom: Ice Magic."

"Ooh Ice magic. I can't wait to learn Ice magic with you guys." Gray smiled. Lyon looked at his brother and smirked.

"Me too. I can't wait until I have another opponent to beat." Gray slightly wracked him with Blue and frowned at him.

"hey! That's mean and a lie. You won't be able to beat me! I'm going to be the strongest out of all three of you."

"Sure, sure. Keep telling yourself that." Lyon chuckled, and Gray stuck out his tongue at him.

"Meany. Just continue already. I wanna find out what happens next.

"I thought that you already read this story before?"

"Yeah, but that's not the point. Just continue." Gray grumbled and crossed his arms. "But Lyon?" He asked quietly with a yawn. Lyon looked at him questionably.

"Yeah Gray?"

"Can you please stay until I fall asleep?" he asked. "I don't really want to be alone." Lyon was a little shocked and confused by that statement but nodded in reply anyway.

"Yeah sure Gray." He smiled softly and squeezed Gray's hands. He muttered a small thanks then urged Lyon to continue the story.

"Ok, ok." He chuckled and continued reading. "Crystal was humming around happily in her castle…"

About an hour later, Ur and Ultear walked home, both carrying a pile of firewood in their hands. Ur walked up to the door and opened. They both walked in and set the firewood next to the fire which was now out, leaving a puff of smoke heading its way up the chimney.

"Gray! Lyon! We're back!" She called, but there was no reply. Ur looked at her eleven-year-old daughter Ultear, who shrugged in confusion. They walked to the hall and opened the door to Gray's room. Her eyes widened with surprise, but then her gaze turned soft and smiled warmly. Lyon and Gray were both asleep holding hands. Lyon was still sitting on the chair with his head on the bed, and Gray was laying on his side, holding Blue up to his chin. Ur walked over to them and picked up Lyon carefully and placed him on the bed next to Gray. Ur kissed both their foreheads and walked out of the room leaving the brothers behind with Ultear following behind with a smile on both their faces.
